Schaub played very poorly in the 3rd quarter. He played well in other parts of the game however. I think we can all agree that our inability to run the ball played a much bigger part in the game. I would love a Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, etc. I would even love a Colin Kaepernick (sp?) that we could take in the second or thrid round, sit for a year, then he could take over. But without a doubt, the right side of that O-Line is putrid and we have got to change something. We could not run the ball worth a lick._________________All that is gold does not glitter,

One thing i'd like to reiterate is, change is needed relatively soon. I don't think Schaub is going to be the QB in 2014 and definitely not by 2015. This crop of QBs coming out this year is so freaking weak though i just don't see anybody we grab in the second or third that could be of help in the immediate future._________________All that is gold does not glitter,

Hey now! You've got no idea of putrid till you see Jeromey Clary and Rex Hadnot manning a right side of your line!

That said, it had looked like Eric Winston's presence was certainly missed on this line (possibly Brisiel's as well, but what I saw of Winston in the past and what I've seen of his this season leads me to believe that the higher quality at RT would have made the lesser quality at RG less noticeable/impactful). Can't fault either for cashing in when they did, but they certainly do appear missed.

And trust me, it pains me to see any more teams looking for OL help in this draft given how badly my own team needs it (and likely needs to come out of it's first 3 picks with two quality guys). I realize that very rarely is drafting a RT in the 1st round considered terribly favorable, but for a team that emphasizes the run on offense as you guys do (see San Francisco - even to this day though they are airing it out more with Kaepernick), it's considerably more justifiable because you want to be able to run with the same efficiency to either side, otherwise you become all the more easy to gameplan against._________________

4 Year 62.0 Million extension inhibits a change at the QB position. Schaub clearly lacks the arm strength to stretch teams vertically, which is the trait teams covet at the position.
